Dead Kennedys Live San Francisco 1984 (full show) VHSrip

This DEAD KENNEDYS’ Performance June 16.1984 marked the closing of San Francisco’s DMPO’s ON BRODWAY Avant Garde Theatre and Nightclub. Director Dirk Dirksen documents the performances of KLAUS FLOURIDE, Bass; D.H. Peligro, Drums; EAST BAY RAY, Guitar; JELLO BIAFRA, Vocals; the crowd’s energy, interaction and mood. The 58 minute concert was captured, in real time, using four color cameras and a stereo, hi-fi audio track

San Francisco’s North Beach, site of the concert, has traditionally provided asylum for the cultural fringe. In the Fall of 1975 Dirk Dirksen introduced emering avant garde artist/performers to the proprietor of a quiet Filipiano piano bar and family supper club, the Mabuhay Gardens. He convinced the owners to let him open the club on otherwise dark nights

Beginning with the staging of a comedy by “LES NICKELETTES’, an infamous feminist guerilla theatre troupe’ and a series of early punk rock and new music band events featuring painters; dancers, poetes; video/film artists the FAB MAR evolves into one of the seminal venues of our time
